Guys, what type and size hooks are you using for your Lake Erie open water worm harnesses?

Thanks in advance,
Jack

Jack, I use 1/0 or 2/0 Mustad Octopus (Beak) hook. The Mustad part# is 92553. I personally use the Red hooks and 30# red wire to tie my harnesses. I start with a 16" piece of wire and tie the hooks with a standard snell and use a size 4 or 5 blade either colorado or willow leaf. If you use wire you will need a #3 crimp sleeve to make your loop. I also use 6mm beads you can get at a craft store or tackle shop or online.

Did anyone go to the Boat Show? There were a lot of nice machines there. Cold snowy, gray weather on the outside. Nice clean, shiny, polished, boats on the inside sitting on green grass.

Didn't get a chance to but was thinking about it, for all the reasons you mentioned! I took my kids sledding today but was looking at the boat in the driveway, covered in snow, and thinking ahead to warmer days and getting out on the water...

I was there Saturday afternoon it was ok way too many pleasure boats the biggest fishing boat there was a 23' Striper Hard Top. I thought they could have done a better job with the fishing boats.
